Dear SCEA aspirants & Veterans
With delight I would to bring to your attention that I am an SCEA.
Took part 1 last April and finally finished Part 2 and 3 this april (my voucher expired on April 30th and I took part 3 on 30th...very close. Do not attempt this, its really painful)

Part 2 and Part 3
1) I used Jude UML, pretty easy to use and very handy. The community edition or professional is good. You can download professional for 30 day trail
2) UML..UML..UML Made sure I understood UML well and took every measure to make sure my diagrams are UML compliant.
3) Solve the problem in hand. Do not try to over engineer....I have seen a few posts here where people try to solve many implementation problems and I believe the test tries to test your architectural skills and not implementation skills :-)
4) Like Sun say's it should not take more than 80 hours and If you spent more than 80 hours thinking/drawing then you are over engineering.
5) I did not get into WS-transaction and other implementation details. I kept my design to fairly highlevel.

Good luck

Congratulations!

And thanks for the feedback.

Your point about keeping it high-level is a good one. Too much detail, and blinding the grader with technology on what is supposed to be a high level architecture is a sure-fire way to lose marks. Good stragegy.

And again, congratulations!
